hASH1 nuclear localization persists in neuroendocrine transdifferentiated prostate cancer cells, even upon reintroduction of androgen. Scientific Reports, 9, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-55665-y
Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is thought to arise as prostate adenocarcinoma cells transdifferentiate into neuroendocrine (NE) cells to escape potent anti-androgen the...

Silver nanoparticles promote the emergence of heterogeneic human neutrophil sub-populations

Journal Article
Kemp, S., Young, L., Ross, M., Prach, M., Hutchison, G. R., Malone, E., & Fraser, J. A. (2018)
Silver nanoparticles promote the emergence of heterogeneic human neutrophil sub-populations. Scientific Reports, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-25854-2

Preferential activation of HIF-2α adaptive signalling in neuronal-like cells in response to acute hypoxia

Journal Article
Martín-Aragón Baudel, M. A. S., Rae, M. T., Darlison, M. G., Poole, A. V., & Fraser, J. A. (2017)
Preferential activation of HIF-2α adaptive signalling in neuronal-like cells in response to acute hypoxia. PLOS ONE, 12(10), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0185664
Stroke causes severe neuronal damage as disrupted cerebral blood flow starves neurons of oxygen and glucose. The hypoxia inducible factors (HIF-1α and HIF-2α) orchestrate oxyg...

Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia

Presentation / Conference
Fraser, J., Baudel, M., Rae, M., Darlison, M., & Poole, A. (2017, April)
Preferential activation of HIF-2 adaptive mechanisms in neuronal-like cells in response to hypoxia. Poster presented at British Neuroscience Association - festival of neuroscience 2017
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Blockage, or occlusion, of cerebral arteries causes irreversible neuronal damage as disrupted blood flow starves n...

The expression of the chloride co-transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 is reversed in the penumbra following

Conference Proceeding
Baudel, M., Rae, M., Fraser, J., & Poole, A. (2017)
The expression of the chloride co-transporters NKCC1 and KCC2 is reversed in the penumbra following. In Brain and Neuroscience: BNA 2017 Festival of Neuroscience: Abstract Book
Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. The harm caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain unfolds in the subsequent hours and days, s...

Investigating the molecular mechanisms driving neuroendocrine differentiation in androgen deprived prostate cancer cells

Conference Proceeding
Sutton, J., Hutchison, G., Fraser, J., & Poole, A. (2016)
Investigating the molecular mechanisms driving neuroendocrine differentiation in androgen deprived prostate cancer cells
Background: Neuroendocrine differentiation is commonplace in prostate tumors treated with androgen deprivation therapy and is associated with castrate-resistant disease progre...
